BETWEEN PORTOFINO AND THE CINQUE TERRE

Villa Riviera Resort is a five-star adults-only boutique hotel distributed between two historic villas set within a century-old 15,000 sqm park in Lavagna, between Portofino and Cinque Terre. Each space has its own character: from the grand villa dominating the hillside to the dependance preserving the memory of the village, to the panoramic terrace of the restaurant and the garden where the Open Air Spa stands.

A Boutique Hotel in Two Historic Villas

VILLA 900

The resort’s main villa houses six uniquely designed suites, each with its own personality. Prestigious original frescoes, panoramic terraces, and views of Portofino characterize the common and private spaces of this historic residence. On the upper floor stands the terrace of Aria | Restaurant, overlooking the entire Gulf of Tigullio. Villa 900 is the beating heart of Villa Riviera Resort: it houses the reception, restaurant, Infinity Pool, and breakfast room.

VILLA 800

A few steps from Villa 900, nestled in the resort’s lush park, Villa 800 is the dependance of Villa Riviera Resort. One of the first buildings in Santa Giulia, completely restored respecting the original materials. Genoese floors, vaulted ceilings, and architectural details tell the story of this place. Villa 800 houses nine elegant rooms in a more intimate and private atmosphere. Guests share all the services of the main villa: pool, spa, restaurant, breakfast.
